Overview
If a couple of new members of your social circle or work team are rubbing you the wrong way, give them time. Sooner or later, these strong personalities will be tempered by the overall group vibe, and they will be much easier to get along with. Right now, they're just flexing their muscles and trying to make an impression -- though it may not be a very good one. Remember that these new people are merely drops in your social ocean, so put things into perspective.
